No Music / GZdoom (need help)

[Kontra Kommando]

 

I'm not sure what the issue is, but there's an error popping up when I load of the game.

 

I have my PC set up to a flat screen TV. I'm not sure how to properly configure it to allow music to work properly.

What version are you using and what error do you get?

 

[Kontra Kommando]

gzdoom 2.3.0.0

Perhaps its time to upgrade.

 

Other than that orange text about the OpenAL Soft, that's it.

Okay, so I got it to work.

 

I had to change the output format to default.

Before that, I changed the sound backend to fmod ex

 

No more orange text in the loading window.

The orange text is not an error, it's just part of OpenAL's init message.

Only happens in GZDoom? or any other Source port?

[KVELLER]

OpenAL Soft seems to be buggy in versions prior to the removal of FMOD EX

[Graf Zahl]

The problem was not OpenAL but setting the MIDI playback device to 'sound system'. On FMod it uses FMod's synth, on OpenAL it has to fall back to Windows's native MIDI synth - which is quite a bit broken.

 

That's why GZDoom 3.1.0 includes a sound font so that it can use FluidSynth as its default MIDI player.
